Nonsense. A sinful priest can still administer the Host.

So.... Are Catholics OK then with a priest serving them communion after he had been molesting boys the night before?

If the parishioner had molested boys after confession and before communion, would that not be considered mortal sin? And would he then not technically be prohibited from taking communion?

Then why would it be acceptable for a priest to be exempt and allowed to consecrate the host and serve communion? I wonder what Jesus thinks about that? Being called down from heaven into the host by hands lifted up that had been engaging in such henous sin?

Nonsense. A sinful priest can still administer the Host.

I did not say he could not...did you read the canon?

IT SAYS the INTENTION not sin ...
